The Relationship

The energy and time variables of the elementary classical dynamical systems are described geometrically, as canonically conjugate coordinates of an extended phase-space. It is shown that the Galilei action of the inertial equivalence group on this space is canonical, but not Hamiltonian equivariant. Although it has no effect at a classical level, the lack of equivariance makes the Galilei action inconsistent with the canonical quantization. A Hamiltonian equivariant action can be obtained by assuming that the inertial parameter in the extended phase-space is quasi-isotropic. This condition leads naturally to the Lorentz transformations between moving frames as a particular case of symplectic transformations. The limit speed appears as a constant factor relating the two additional canonical coordinates to the energy and time. Its value is identified with the speed of light by using the relationship between the electromagnetic potentials and the symplectic form of the extended phase-space.

Space Description

The system of a two-dimensional damped harmonic oscillator is revisited in the extended phase space. It is an old problem that has already been addressed by many authors that we present here with some fresh points of view and carry on a whole discussion. We show that the system is singular. The classical Hamiltonian is proportional to the first-class constraint. We pursue with the Dirac’s canonical quantization procedure by fixing the gauge and provide a reduced phase space description of the system. As a result, the quantum system is simply modeled by the original quantum Hamiltonian.

This chapter explains in detail the current Hamiltonian formulation of SD, and the concept of Linking Theory of which (GR) and SD are two complementary gauge-fixings. The physical degrees of freedom of SD are identified, the simple way in which it solves the problem of time and the problem of observables in quantum gravity are explained, and the solution to the problem of constructing a spacetime slab from a solution of SD (and the related definition of physical rods and clocks) is described. Furthermore, the canonical way of coupling matter to SD is introduced, together with the operational definition of four-dimensional line element as an effective background for matter fields. The chapter concludes with two ‘structural’ results obtained in the attempt of finding a construction principle for SD: the concept of ‘symmetry doubling’, related to the BRST formulation of the theory, and the idea of ‘conformogeometrodynamics regained’, that is, to derive the theory as the unique one in the extended phase space of GR that realizes the symmetry doubling idea.

Turnover theory (of the escape Γ) à la Grabert will be based solely on Kramers' Fokker–Planck equation for activated rate processes. No recourse to a microscope model or Langevin dynamics will be made. Apart from the unstable mode energy E, the analysis requires new theoretical concepts such as a constrained Gaussian transformation (CGT) and dynamically extended phase space (EPS).

Here we use the extended phase space formulation of quantum statistical mechanics proposed in an earlier work to define an extended lagrangian for Wigner's functions (WFs). The extended action defined by this lagrangian is a function of ordinary phase space variables. The reality condition of WFs is employed to quantize the extended action. The energy quantization is obtained as a direct consequence of the quantized action. The technique is applied to find the energy states of harmonic oscillator, particle in the box, and hydrogen atom as the illustrative examples.

The various phase spaces involved in the dynamics of parametrized nonrelativistic Hamiltonian systems are displayed by using Crnkovic and Witten's covariant canonical formalism. It is also pointed out that in Dirac's canonical formalism there exists a freedom in the choice of the symplectic structure on the extended phase space and in the choice of the equations that define the constraint surface with the only restriction that these two choices combine in such a way that any pair (of these two choices) generates the same gauge transformation. The consequence of this freedom on the algebra of observables is also discussed.

In this paper, we attempt to further study the heat engine efficiency for the regular black hole (BH) with an anti-de Sitter (AdS) background where the working material is the Hayward–AdS (HAdS) BH. In the extended phase space, we investigate the heat engine efficiency of the HAdS BH by defining the cosmological constant as the thermodynamic pressure P and deriving the mechanical work from the PdV terms. Then, we obtain the relation between the efficiency and the entropy/pressure and plot these function figures. Meanwhile, we compare the relation between the HAdS BH with that of the Bardeen–AdS (BAdS) BH, where it is found that the efficiency of the HAdS BH increases with increase in the magnetic charge q in contrast to that of the BAdS BH decrease with increase in the magnetic charge q. We found that the HAdS BH is more efficient than the BAdS BH, and guess that it is related to the BH structure.

In this paper, we investigate the Joule–Thomson effects of AdS black holes with a global monopole. We study the effect of the global monopole parameter [Formula: see text] on the inversion temperature and isenthalpic curves. The obtained result is compared with Joule–Thomson expansion of van der Waals fluid, and the similarities were noted. Phase transition occuring in the extended phase space of this black hole is analogous to that in van der Waals gas. Our study shows that global monopole parameter [Formula: see text] plays a very important role in Joule–Thomson expansion.
